Pope Francis: Capitalism is 'Terrorism Against All of Humanity'

Superb article on Francis' latest foray into who / what really is responsible for terrorism in the world today.

I'm betting this won't make the Fake Noise channel at all. Matter-of-fact I don't see ANY of our so-callled liberal media stations and spokespersons taking this on. But if they did, I think it would open a new means of discussing what's really going on in the world today.

Any takers out there???

I mean, the end all of it is a total monopoly.

That's what the game represents: capitalism.

It cannot end well.
